Steak is American. Some may argue that it is Australian. Some even say that it’s Japanese. Regardless, the love for it is worldwide. There’s a market for it anywhere you go. Steaks are usually grilled, pan-fried, or broiled to perfection. There’s rare, medium rare and well done. It’s your own preference on how it is cooked that matters. Steak stores have been popping here and there. They cater to people’s cravings. Some are expensive that it is considered as a luxury that one may indulge in. Some, however, beg to go with the flow. They offer quality steaks at a much lower price, hence people flocking to their stores to satisfy their cravings.
That’s one of the main reasons why people are starting to franchise a Sizzling Pepper Steak store. They offer quality taste and good food without people having to burn a hole in their pockets. It all started in 2007. Mr Brian Tiu and the Pancake House Group introduced Sizzling Pepper Steak as a new restaurant concept. Basically, they offered a modern way of eating popular beef dishes. They showed Filipinos how to enjoy devouring steaks, made from imported beef and flavoured with high-grade pepper, at incredulously low prices.
